Abstract

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis to investigate the effects of Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on running performance.

Introduction: PBM has recently been advocated as a valuable non-pharmacological ergogenic strategy, however, the efficacy of PBM on running performance remains unproven.

Methods: A computerized literature search was conducted until June 2023. The databases searched were PubMed/Medline, Embase, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were determined through the PICO process. The running variables analyzed were time-trial or time-to-exhaustion. Results were combined with the standardized mean differences (SMD) and the 95% confidence intervals.

Results: Twelve studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. No significant effects in favor of PBM were found (SMD = 0.13; p = 0.11). There was no effect considering the presence (SMD = 0.16; p = 0.38) and absence (SMD = 0.11; p = 0.25) of training, and there was no dose-response effect (p = 0.82).

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that PBM alone or combined with a training program does not improve running performance in terms of time-trial and time-to-exhaustion testing. More studies involving PBM plus training and doses higher than 1000 J are needed to determine if PBM is effective in improving running performance.

关于光生物调节疗法对跑步成绩影响的随机对照试验的元分析。

目的：对光生物调节疗法（PBM）对跑步成绩的影响进行荟萃分析：进行一项荟萃分析，研究光生物调控（PBM）疗法对跑步成绩的影响：近来，光生物调控疗法被认为是一种有价值的非药物健身策略，然而，光生物调控疗法对跑步成绩的影响仍未得到证实：方法：对截至 2023 年 6 月的文献进行了计算机检索。检索的数据库包括 PubMed/Medline、Embase、Scopus、SPORTDiscus 和 Web of Science。通过 PICO 流程确定了纳入/排除标准。分析的跑步变量为时间试验或耗尽时间。结果与标准化平均差（SMD）和 95% 置信区间相结合：结果：12 项研究符合纳入标准。结果：12 项研究符合纳入标准，没有发现有利于 PBM 的明显效果（SMD = 0.13；P = 0.11）。考虑到存在（SMD = 0.16；p = 0.38）和不存在（SMD = 0.11；p = 0.25）培训，没有发现效果，也没有发现剂量反应效应（p = 0.82）：我们的研究结果表明，在计时测试和耗竭时间测试方面，PBM 单独或与训练计划相结合并不能提高跑步成绩。要确定 PBM 是否能有效提高跑步成绩，还需要更多涉及 PBM 加训练和剂量高于 1000 J 的研究。
